You know IBM's lawyers were involved because they refused to inspect the damaged server (or in other words get roped into liability if it's unrepairable and they say it's not). This refusal is also what got someone's panties in a bunch. TR better hope they have better information than IBM on the packaging.
For those of you that didn't read the story (most of you) the pallet broke after the forklift hit the bump and wobbled. Although you have to wonder just how fast the forklift was going if it wobbled hard enough to break the pallet. TR likely has an insurance claim, and chances are that a claim of that size is going to very negatively effect their insurance rate hence they are suing trying to claim the packaging wasn't good enough to take being mishandled.
It's tough for companies to swallow that the minimum wage guy they hired to unpack the trucks using a forklift was probably a bad investment and they should have hired someone a little more skilled at ensuring packages are secure when unloading, in fact that mistake cost them 1.4million. I'm guessing that when it fell the workers cleaned it up and didn't really notice the damage (or care) until after the USPTO inspected the server and determined it was damaged.
